'Bon Appetit' covers fly fowl this fall

A feeling of déjà vu came over us when we got our November copy of Bon Appetit, with its scrumptious cover image of a roast turkey. The cover choice wouldn’t have been surprising—have you seen a food magazine that didn’t have a turkey on its November cover?—were it not for the fact that just two issues ago, Bon App seemed to run a nearly identical cover. When we double-checked, we found the September bird was not a turkey but actually a chicken, which Bon App told us its readers apparently can’t get enough of these days. Maybe so. But now that Condé Nast has put all its eggs now in the Bon App basket, so to speak, it could be one more reason for all those unhappy Gourmet fans to cry fowl, er, foul.
